Before his recent Dallas show, I had the chance to pull Red aside for an expansive interview and an impromptu recording session, which resulted in two single-mic performances of some of his most beloved songs, "Red Sun" from Peter and the Wolf and Adventure from MTV2's Wonder Showzen. Red Hunter  isn't like most musicians I've talked with over the last year. Maybe that's because he's so willing to ponder, detail, even perform, his many diverse interests. He will tell you about playing shows in graveyards and dressing up like a Vet for a case study in audience reaction.  He will tell you about jokingly suggesting he and a peer tour in a sailboat.  He will cite Chomsky and address the perils of media propaganda and, in a twist, tie it all -- and convincingly so -- to independent music. He will offer perspectives, ideas, and insights that only hint at why he's one of the more compelling figures in underground music Peter and the Wolf - Red Sun (IndieInterviews)  (mp3) Red Hunter - Adventure (Wonder Showzen cover)  (Indie Interviews exclusive mp3) Upcoming Peter and the Wolf Dates 7.06 San Diego, Scolari's Office7.07 Los Angeles, The Echo7.08 Los Angeles, Il Corral7.09 San Francisco, Hotel Utah 7.12 Portland, Towne Lounge 7.13 Seattle, S.S.
